Challenging the Production Paradigm: Voices of the Farmer
Panelists
The fourth session of the Ivey Future of Agri-food Series was held in November 2024. In this session, we heard directly from three Canadian farmers who have made the transition to regenerative practices, integrating sustainability into their operations at various points in their farming journeys. They shared their stories on why they decided to make the change, how they navigated the journey, the challenges and opportunities they encountered along the way, and what they see as the key enablers for all producers to follow this path. The session also shed light on opportunities for policy makers, investors, and other actors in the value chain to support farmers through the transition to regenerative farming.
We focus on five levers throughout the student journey: early interactions, skills and knowledge, scholarships and bursaries, mentorship, and career management.
Ivey alumni are leading or transforming organizations towards more sustainability strategies and practices, as well as address pressing environmental and social challenges.
Ivey plays a lead role in creating intellectual capital that leads to corporate best practices, more collaborative businesses, and a more competitive economy. Learn more about topics researched and how it filters into Ivey's curricula.
